- Physical Description
- The print displays a scene from a perspective on the water, underneath the bridges. Three bridges can be seen. The first bridge is closer to the viewer, with a pier in the center left of the scene, and the truss barely visible, cutting through the top of the image at an angle. Behind the first bridge, more of the second bridge can be seen, with two piers and an arched truss. The thrid bridge is in the background, right-hand section of the scene. The bridge piers cast six shadows into the rippling water.
